More of Bavaria to Explore...




Lots of important sights left for the girls to see before we headed for the mountains! Here are a few. The scene above is one of the most photographed/painted intersections in all of Bavaria, the Plonlein, or "little square" in Rothenburg. Neither of these shots are great, but you can see why there's always a photographer set up at this corner, I think! This little house is at the intersection of two roads that lead into town from towers along Rothenburg's wall. Down the lower road to the right is Siebersturm (Siebers' Tower). Both it and the Kobolzeller Tor on the left date from 1350-1385, if you can imagine! The girls have grown up seeing this famous square in the artwork in their homes. Pretty cool to be there with them in person!


Lobelia--you just cant do this in Texas!

Yvonne, Moira and Orangina! What a day!

More pics next time of some of the important family sights around Windsheim!
